Sermon Update

“We need to recognize that to be a disciple of Jesus, is to be an agent of Shalom [Hebrew word translated often as ‘peace’ but meaning completeness and wholeness in all relationships and society] in all areas, not just the individual. To make Jesus your King, to surrender your life to Jesus, is to join him in bringing Shalom to every part of your city.” – Chris Rattay
